Forged Performance Without Compromise
The ML-10RT takes inspiration from the legendary racing wheels that defined touring car motorsport, but its engineering is entirely modern. Apex utilizes custom-designed forged blanks and advanced manufacturing processes to create a monoblock wheel that is lighter, stronger, and stiffer than many traditional multi-piece wheel designs, helping improve handling response and long-term durability.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Borrowed directly from Apex's race-proven Sprint Line wheels, the reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip adds substantial material to the wheel's most vulnerable area. This innovative design improves impact resistance and structural integrity while maintaining the lightweight performance characteristics expected from a premium forged wheel.
Extensive Side-Milled Spoke Design
Using precision CNC machining, Apex removes excess material from the sides of each spoke to reduce weight while preserving strength. The result is a wheel with lower rotational mass, improved performance characteristics, and the aggressive sculpted appearance that distinguishes the ML-10RT.
Race Silver Machined Lip Finish
The Race Silver finish paired with the signature machined lip delivers a timeless motorsport aesthetic that complements a wide variety of vehicle styles. A durable gloss clear coat protects the machined surface, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy the appearance of a polished lip without the maintenance requirements associated with traditional polished finishes.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern and 70.5mm Center Bore
